    Default accordion menu styling

    I've been going around in circles trying to style this accordion menu css. Everything is working except for two things:

    1. The parent menu headers titled "company" and "projects" I want a color:#ddd; font-weight:bold; on hover. With the current styling, I am not getting bold on either and the "company" is also defaulting to styling of the main stylesheet which is a color:#fff; on hover (this is being used inside a widget within a wordpress theme). The "projects" does not default to the main stylesheet on hover for some reason.

    2. When clicking on sub sub menu items under "projects/completed/10 years later for example, I want the active state to be bold. Can't get it to work!

    Newbie here... Any suggestions?



    </script>

    <style type="text/css">


    .arrowlistmenu{
    width: 180px; /*width of accordion menu*/

    }

    .arrowlistmenu .menuheader{ /*CSS class for menu headers in general (expanding or not!)*/
    font: 14px Helvetica;
    color: ddd;
    margin-bottom: 5px; /*bottom spacing between header and rest of content*/
    padding: 4px 10px 4px 0px; /*header text is indented 10px*/
    cursor: hand;
    cursor: pointer;
    }


    .arrowlistmenu .openheader{ /*CSS class to apply to expandable header when it's expanded*/
    font-weight:bold;
    }


    .arrowlistmenu ul{ /*CSS for UL of each sub menu*/
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    margin-bottom: 8px; /*bottom spacing between each UL and rest of content*/
    }

    .arrowlistmenu ul li{
    padding-bottom: 2px; /*bottom spacing between menu items*/

    sorry don't really know about your accordion code, but dynamicdrive has it's own accordion and for me it's more simple to customize, here is the original link:

    Thanks for the reply. The code above is based on dynamic drive's accordion script. I also just discovered that it broke a javascript based slideshow. I may have to look elsewhere, unfortunately. thnks.
